archer Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Ideally I'd like to get the number of unique items on the table up to 100 so chime in with ideas. Also, I'd recommend rolling a d20 on the chart rather than 3d6. ("Why is this world filled with pitchforks and anvils?") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Stanfield Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 21. Pencils or pens 22. Silverware 23. Dishes (you could do a whole subset just on the kitchen. Do you remember James Bond getting attacked with an electric carving knife? The disarm for that was to reach out with his foot and unplug it!) 24. Since you already veered away from fantasy with the Eiffel Tower, a remote control would be a good weapon. 25. Shoe/Boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 The Eiffel Tower can be replaced with the souvenir of your choice. Obviously a table can't account for every possible trophy or keepsake from every possible world. If you go into the house of a traveler, you might find an Eiffel Tower. If you go into the home of a Catholic, you might find the statue of a saint or a cross. If you go into the home of a hobbit...well, you might need a whole sub-table of foodstuff that would be found throughout the house. Brie from Bree might be a suitable souvenir, at least for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very sharp cheese indeed! I've heard of, but not seen, a British comedy show sketch about Ecky-Thump (spelling uncertain), the "ancient Welsh martial art of fighting with a black pudding." I assume that means wielding a black pudding, though I cannot swear to it. CORRECTION! Remembering this prompted me to look it up. It is the Lancastrian martial art of wielding a black pudding, and was revealed on the show The Goodies, in an episode called Kung Fu Kapers. But my attempts to paste in the Wikipedia link are not working.. Dean Shomshak Brian Stanfield, assault and drunkonduty 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assault Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 There might be some people reading this who aren't familiar with The Goodies. (Some might be unfamiliar with Monty Python too, but there's no help for them.) Anyway, the actors in The Goodies were contemporaries and friends of the Monty Python crew. The latter used to troll them for The Goodies being a "kids' show", but it was meant in good humour. If there is any doubt about the comedic talents of the Goodies actors, here is one of them (Tim Brooke-Taylor) in a sketch he co-wrote with his fellow actors - John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman. This was the original version of the sketch. Monty Python did it many times afterwards.

Toxxus Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 I recall my father's first car phone with all of the attached equipment being heavy enough to require two hands to move around. STR MIN 15, 6d6 N damage, ablative weapon - each hit degrades the weapon until it's a bag full of broken parts and dangling wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
